So, we go to Costco today for our regular Saturday shopping. By the end of the experience, my already low estimate of human nature has been driven through the floor. First, we have the person who left their buggy on the grass beside our parking spot because it must have been just too much like work to push it over to the buggy coral 20 feet away. Then, you have to find a buggy without all the sample cups, Tim's cup and flyers left in the basket. I guess these lazy bums figure what I want to do is clean up after them. Then, you get inside and shop. OK, now I've been known to take a free sample occasionally but for God's sake, GET OUT OF THE WAY so other people can get past you. Oh and the old "I'm taking one for my friend who's over in the next aisle"; do you really think anyone believes that?
Once, on a previous excursion, I saw a kid knock over a stack of shirts. When the kid went to pick them up, his parent exclaimed,"no, don't do that. That's HER job" (referring to the staff member folding clothes at the next table. True par rent of the year candidates there. Maybe people think that because it's a warehouse concept (ie - lower prices), that they can use lower levels of social skills?
Have you had experiences like mine? Ever said anything to the offenders? Have a nice weekend all & thanks for reading.

Steve: This has nothing to do with your post, but did you know Deepak Chopra is coming to London? I know Y'Lady is a big fan. Apparently Chopra's website has details.
Dan, thanks for the heads up. Yes, we knew and already have tickets.
